Perez Hilton Rumor Causes Controversy on Twitter

Posted on: August 31st, 2009 by: Andrea1 comment

You can credit Ashton Kutcher for perpetuating a Perez Hilton rumor via Twitter.

Ashton (@aplusk on Twitter) tweeted a few comments about a Perez Hilton rumor last night, saying:

Is the perez Hilton rumor true? Holy s**t!!!

I was at a dinner party and every one was going off about it.

I’m not saying anything till there’s confirmation too gross.

An obscure Twitterer posted a link to a 2008 April fools prank from a celebrity gossip site claiming that a man was pregnant with Perez Hilton’s love child. The article included quotes from Perez saying Paris Hilton gave them the courage to go ahead with their plans. The rumor was spread via Ashton Kutcher’s three million plus followers.

Unfortunately, the article featured a photo of Thomas Beatie, the first man to have a baby, creating a storm of controversy over Kutcher’s comments that the rumor was “gross.”

Kutcher has been uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter, and has not, as of this time, posted any response. His latest update after the comments about the Perez Hilton rumor was:

Thinking about growing beard for the winter.

This is something fishy.. I was shocked when the news of his pregnancy was spread around the world. But, this wasn’t natural. So there’s nothing to wonder in this.
